Today I had to make a significant change to my original itinerary because of the prohibition of pedestrians on the motorway.
My day started with a 6:30 wake-up to catch a 7:30 bus from Maclean to a rest area along my planned route that had a bus stop. Taking the bus to that point kept me on schedule but took out several miles of my walk that had no other route option other than the motorway. It’s a bummer that I’ll miss walking those miles but the rules are the rules.
By taking out the motorway miles that I didn’t walk I only had seven miles left to walk to my destination of Woodburn. I got here and checked into the Rod-N-Reel Motel and Pub. It REAL basic. I’ll leave it at that. Thankfully it’s a one night stay and I’ll be down the road to greener pastures tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow, it’s a 21 mile day on backroads with a ferry ride at the end. I’ll also be back to the coast tomorrow. That’s it for today. JB.
